Collection Story
Origin
The four pieces on Fredericia's JG Collection page are credited to Jørgen Gammelgaard. The coffee table was designed in 1962 (introduced in 1973), the folding stool in 1970 and the table in 1984.
Design Language
Metal appears in every piece: a solid aluminium base for the coffee table, and stainless steel for the stool and for one of the table's two frames. The tables take stone, glass or linoleum on top.
